Mercato del Pesce (Venice, Italy)

Within easy walking distance of our hotel were the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge. Also, it turned out to our surprise, was the fish market (Mercato del Pesce) and produce market. Here is where locals and restaurant chefs and buyers purchase fresh fish, crustaceans and mollusks, in tremendous variety. We made a quick trip through the markets before having to board the tour bus for Florence.
